When syncing with FF v22 instead of uploading my add-ons it is deleting them from FF. This is definitely not what I want to do. I have approx. 27 add-ons that I use regularly and my quota states that only 6.9kB is being used for add-ons.

Every time I select 'Recommended: Merge this device's data with my Sync data' it will delete most but not all of the add-ons from the add-ons manager.

Selecting 'Replace all other devices with this device's data' does not seem to have any effect on the Sync Quota except for my bookmarks, which seem to be fine regardless.

Am I doing something wrong or is there a problem with sync?

Firefox v22.0 running on Windows 7 Professional 64bit.

I think its not deleting the Addons

Firefox SYNC takes few minutes to download and install the Addons, so please try one more time

Firefox > Tools > SYNC Now

Don't close the firefox browser, it download and install it in backgroud

Thanks for the reply.

I have sat and watched it delete the add-ons one by one and when I try to sync FF on Mac OS X 10.8 by selecting 'Replace all data on this device with my Sync data', no add-ons are installed, only the passwords, preferences and bookmarks make it through.

The question is though, when I choose 'Replace all other devices with this device's data' it should not be deleting anything from the parent machine at all. If anything, it should be deleting the data from the server and then replacing it.

I just installed FF v22 on another Win7Pro64bit machine and my Mac and sync behaved as it should.

I don't know why it was behaving badly before but it seems to have corrected itself now.
